The issue seems to have fixed itself, I brought my DSi and DS with me, and was playing Shin Megami Tenshei Devil Survivor, the DS Lite died, so I put hte M3 in the DSi with little hope, and it booted. NO reason why, just worked. =\
that's funny

Hey, I'm having the same problem with my m3i Zero..

Tried everything.. Different SD cards, different DS'.. It wont work on either DS Lite or DSi!
Only weird thing is that it never flashed properly.. anytime i stuck the usb and tiny pin into it, it never flashed so maybe thats where something is going wrong?

The DS recognises it as a game, just a blank box, no M3i logo or anything.. and when its opened that error message comes up.

Anybody have any ideas/suggestions?
Seriously desperate now!

Hi Foxboy

Just wanted to let you know I was having the same problem (on 1.3u), and found that the solution was the SDHC card. I was using an 8gb kingston for the m3i and switched to my smaller 4gb kingston and flashed the cart and booted fine, before I was having the same problem.

Hope that helps

C

It sounds like Gamezway has gotten a bad batch of M3i Zeros, very bad.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
